ummm i was wondering, the cab im getting, you have to specify what OHMS you want, and the head i'm getting has a switchable OHMS thing, so would it matter what my cabinet is? whats the difference between, 4, 8 and 16? thanks

If you plan on running more than one cab then you need to know how low the amp will go.....If it only goes down to 4 ohms, like most amps, then you could use 2 8 ohm cabs or 2 16ohm cabs. (the ohms cut in half when you use two on an amp). If you don't plan on running 2 cabs then get which ever one you wish. Since the amp is switchable then there is no benefit to running a lower rated cab, since it is made to be at whatever wattage no matter which ohm setting you use it on. Now if you were running, say, a Randall V2 like I have then the power increases as you lower the ohms of the cabs all the way down to 2ohms.
